  • I'm banned from certain casinos, virtual and IRL, because I work in the gambling industry and my parent company owns them so there is a potential conflict of interest.

    Arguably worse than most of the replies here since it is a career choice instead of one act of indiscretion. My company was featured on John Oliver last month lol, I was saying we needed to add it to our branding, "As seen on tv!"

  • There is a South American deli near me in Edinburgh that does amazing imported tins of salsa verde but that is literally the only place I can think of to get something non-Franks locally.

  • You wouldn't judge a 35 year old and a 75 year old by different standards when it comes to being informed about current societal attitudes?

    Edit: Also like, what is the standard for evil? That's become relevant to the conversation now. I don't know if this is a US specific thing but I was spuriously saying a lot of people on here would seemingly consider them evil for being right-wing by today's standards. I was jokingly alluding to that because it's preposterous to call someone "evil" for having right of centre views.

  • I suppose it's related to my view of memory. Like I subscribe to the view that you have a fixed amount of memory when you become conscious at 2-3 years old and then you just cram more years into that set amount of memory each passing year. At a certain point your capacity to take in new information and hold it in your brain diminishes so I hold them to a different standard to someone who is not aged 70+.

    Edit: A good example of this is my partner has an immediate family with a lot of neurodivergent traits. My partner was basically their carer while she was growing up. We've been dating since 2011, our families have started to mix more in the past 5 years. Parents have been alive for 75 years so that's like 1/15th of their memory taken up with this information. It's only recently that they have really cottoned on to how disabled my wife's family is. Something needs to be immediate and persistent for an extended period of time to sink in for older folks.

  • Just want to soapbox here about the hot sauces that are sold to: 1) be as hot as possible; 2) have no flavor aside from pepper.

    No one is enjoying XXX: Blow our ur Sphincter 3000 and as far as I am concerned these things are novelty items like pranks from joke shops. If the "schoville" number is factoring into your hot sauce buying decisions then I have personal beef with you and hope you step in a deep puddle next time it's raining.

  • Probably something like adderall. Although morphine would be tempting since supposedly it's not that bad for your health long term compared to something like meth; the main problem for people seems to be running out.

  • People on here would probably think my parents are evil but I just think they are from a different generation. There's only so much adaptation a human brain can do in a lifetime and at some point your views will be set in stone if you've been alive since the 1950s.
